Driveway Makeover

July 2008

Our driveway was never a top priority until this year when the weeds starting to become out of control and the gravel became worn and washed away. We felt it always looked messy and our gardens on this side of the house could never fully be appreciated.

To prepare the driveway we pulled out most of the weeds and tried to level the area as much as possible.

We ordered 5 yards of gravel which was dumped in the driveway on one of the hottest days of the summer. After trying to move it by hand and with not much success we rented a bobcat. The bobcat made life much easier.

We decided to extend the driveway to make more room for cars when guests visit.
